Islands to Europe tag


St Kilda is an isolated archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean. It contains the westernmost islands of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The largest island is Hirta, whose sea cliffs are the highest in the United Kingdom. St Kilda was permanently inhabited for at least two millennia; its population probably never exceeding 180, the entire population was evacuated in 1930. Currently, the only residents are military personnel. The islands' human heritage includes numerous unique architectural features from the historic and prehistoric periods, although the earliest written records of island life date from the Late Middle Ages. It was added to UNESCO heritage. From asgerd.
